History lights up Bud Dynasty

Cameras started rolling on the Canadian original marijuana docuseries at, what else, a 4/20 event in Vancouver.

Corus Entertainment’s History channel took advantage of marijuana’s highest holiday to begin production on its latest Canadian original docuseries, Bud Dynasty.

The seven-episode, 30-minute series, which explores Canada’s cannabis movement, businesses and major players, started filming in Vancouver at a 4/20 event yesterday. With the federal government set to legalize marijuana by July 2018, the specialty channel calls Bud Dynasty a history-in-the-making series.

Bud Dynasty is produced by Vancouver’s Screen Siren Pictures and Toronto-based Henry Less Ontario, in association with History. Executive producers on the series are Trish Dolman and Henry Less, with Dan Jackson serving as series producer and showrunner.
